Hi,
I have a question ... I have to phone programs as the topic and I wanted to ask you whether it makes sense to run the AdGuard safe browsing and firewall if it is too emsisioft mobile security that has secure browsing?


thx

Not sure about Emsisoft. But I run Adguard with Eset Mobile Security and everything works.

 

[userone]

hi zero, and you have enabled safe browsing and firewall in AdGuard?
I ask because I wonder whether it makes sense to use the safe browsing option in Aguarda since it is Emsisoft

 

[Zero Knowledge]

Not sure userone. I just installed Adguard and let it run. I have not fiddled with the settings yet.

If you use Adguard free version, it should be no problem because the free version just blocks the ADS and no safe browsing option is enabled (only paid).

just I forgot to add that I have AdGuard paid version with a lifetime license

You don't really need any sort of anti-virus or ad protection on an android if you download APK's from only the play store. Risk of your device being exploited through the web is just so unlikely for everyday users, but if you really do need anti-virus on a phone i'd say Emsisoft is a good choice. Try using a different/Alternate browser to the default though. E.G. Aloha Browser. Also, make sure you're always on a proxy/VPN. It may decrease your speed but the extra protection is much required

And so I've heard but I won a license to emsi so maybe worth using

Also, make sure you're always on a proxy/VPN. It may decrease your speed but the extra protection is much required

I do not have root on my phone I am so I can only VPN that is created on the phone by AdGuard
